That’s been true of the series as a whole, but Warlords has added a new wrinkle in that you can choose whether to keep your people in line through love or fear. It does a good job of scratching that Tetris-y itch and making long-term planning pay off. You really have to try and picture how everything is going to fit together, on top of building out your defenses to maximize your home field advantage. Decisions like placing your main stockpile close to resource collection areas can have a big effect on the efficiency of your economy, and keeping your people happy later on will partly depend on how many of your buildings are in the radius of temples. And it's not just the availability of natural resources you need to worry about. assuming no one razes it to the ground first. You're going to be turning an open plot of land into an impressive, thriving walled city.

They can't be used for offense after the invasion, and you very much need those x-bows. That'd be all your crossbow/bowmen for most people. Then, upon loading a game within this map, units gets stuck on this half finished wall you have no way of demolishing or putting stairs or w/e.
